We wait for the nuts to fall, no shaking. The sweeper has a fan under the seat that blows the nuts into the next row to the left while sweeping to the right. You travel up the left side of the row first, turn around at the end, then head back with no fan on, sweeping the nuts on the side to the center. Very similar to making a double windrow of hay. This is a young (fourth year) orchard so the windrow is light; you can make it out in the picture between the front tires of the tractor. The harvester uses brushes to lift the nuts, twigs, dirt clods, leaves off the floor and then a steel mesh belt carries them to a bin in back. Fans blow across the belt to get rid of the light debris, much like a combine. Orchard floor prep is critical (cleaner is better) but presents a challenge timing your work before the nuts start to drop.
